Go behind the scenes to witness the painstaking process that Alicia Keys and team go through to craft "The Diary Of Alicia Keys", the follow up to "Songs In A Minor", which garnered her 5 Grammy awards for R&B Album of the... more &raquo Year, Song of the Year, Best Female R&B vocal, Best New Artist, and R&B Song of the Year.

Movie Reviews

Does not contain any music

"I'm going against the general consensus here. As far as I'm concerned, this DVD stinks. There's no music videos on it. It's just a documentary about her activities while on tour etc. Now you might say "Yes, that's what the DVD is about. It's a documentary. What's your problem?". If I bought this in a store and read the cover properly, I may have passed. But I bought it online. Alicia Keys has a music CD by the same title that I think is very good. I think it's fair to assume that a DVD by the same title would contain Music Videos or a live performance of those songs. I like her as an artist. I think she's talented. But I do not care what she does off stage or out of the studio. And I certainly do not want to spend money finding out. This DVD should be marked more prominently as "Does not contain any music". I wish I could return this DVD. It is really worthless to me. Just a waste of time and money."

Where was the Music?????

"Due to the absence of music this is the worse DVD in my collection! I contacted Eagle Rock, the firm responsible for this piece of TRASH! Yes, Ms Keys has accompolished a great deal in her young life, but not enough to warrent a documentary. If you were so under thirty this DVD might have been interesting? The other issue was the way documentary was written so small on the jacket - like a bait and switch. The company would not refunded my money nor answer the question does she have any real DVD with music - no response!Ms Keys you are good but you are not a Lina Horne nor a ELLA F, documentary of these ladies would have been of value. I enjoy watching you sing, not just hearing you sing! You have made enough single release DVDs that you could compound them and release a really good piece of music DVD!

Cheated!"

I love Alicia Keys, but..

"I just wished Alicia would release a live DVD already. She was unreal live. I saw her in Sydney, Australia, and it was one giant jam session. The music never stopped until the end of the concert. This DVD is great but it is a teaser; you get to see glimpses of Alicia performing but mostly it is behind the scenes. While I think it's awesome that she is showing the fans her personality and letting them see what goes on backstage and all the fantastic places she has travelled to in the world, it seems like the sort of thing that would be a bonus feature on a live DVD."

This DVD is INCREDIBLE!!!

"This DVD is great, it shows her on her tour, what she did in her spare time, her tour bus, bits of shows (inc performaces of tracks from both albums), and a tour of one of her hotel rooms, painting balling, water skiing.....you get the drift.

If you are a fan of Alicia and want to see what she does when she isnt performing, then this is the DVD for you!!"
